Announcing Oceaneers, a new survival management game set on floating islands!

We are excited to announce our new project!

[h3]A thrilling venture into the survival crafting genre set on tiny engineered islands floating in an endless ocean.[/h3]

[h2]Oh yeah.. those islands... they can sink.[/h2]

At it's core this is a shelter-survival game, you scavenge, craft and survive as you manage a small group of survivors. If you have played games like Sheltered or This War of Mine, this should be some famiilar territory for you, however your shelter isn't an underground bunker or a ruined house, it's a collection of small floating islands set on the relentless sea. If your a fan of games like Raft, Don't Starve or even Subnautica, be sure to check our FAQ on the forum which includes some comparisons to some other games where we aim to be clear on exactly what this game is and isn't.

In addition to the survival mechanics you expect, you will be designing and crafting your own rafts to take on expeditions, managing island buoyancy with flotation contraptions, and hauling new islands back to your main colony to expand. You even get to progress through a story plot which revolves around the pre-flood corporation that engineered the floating islands.
